Water flowing through a thin, polymer-coated tube in short bursts, or plugs, as demonstrated in these illustrations and images, can produce electricity.

Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...

Researchers demonstrate ultrafast multivalley optical switching in germanium (Ge) using a single-color pulse laser. This breakthrough enables precise transparency control across multiple wavelengths, ...

Using a forward genetics approach, researchers identified the LIRI1 gene to be the key regulator of carbon allocation in plant leaves, balancing starch and triacylglycerol (TAG) storage. LIRI1 ...

The image of Zhúlóng shows its spiral arms, an old central bulge and a large star-forming disc, which resembles the Milky Way.

The teeth of this fossil Borealosuchus skull typify the toothy grin of semi-aquatic generalist predators that survived the end-Cretaceous mass extinction.

Some 215 million years ago in what is now northwestern Argentina, the terrestrial crocodylomorph Hemiprotosuchus leali prepares to devour the early mammal relative Chaliminia musteloides.

Dr Kelly Dunning's research focuses on biodiversity conservation and the human dimensions of natural resources in tourism prone areas.

By controlling male fertility, this new gene could help address challenges in the development of highly productive hybrid wheat.    Wheat provides 20% of global food calories, but creating ...

Western tanagers are migratory birds that are present in Northern California in the spring and again in late summer. A new study shows that observations by 'citizen scientists' using apps such as ...
